Their Story

Hobart, Melissa Jennifer of LADSON, SC, 22 years old, served in the ARMY with E COMPANY, 215TH FSB, 1ST CAVALRY DIVISION, FORT HOOD, TX 76544 at the rank of PFC ? one of the Americans deployed to Iraq.

She did not survive OIF. The ARMY recorded her death on June 6, 2004 in BAGHDAD, IRAQ.

In the first year of occupation, military victory gave way to an insurgency the US hadn't planned for. Disbanding the Iraqi army created a vacuum. Armed groups filled it immediately.

The members of E COMPANY, 215TH FSB, 1ST CAVALRY DIVISION, FORT HOOD, TX 76544 who served alongside her carry her memory. Her record in DCAS documents her service and sacrifice during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
